Chapter 217 Consort Fucha
Fucha Peiyun gently patted Consort Shun's hand and softly comforted her:
"Consort Shun, do not worry. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."
You should get some rest first.
Xu Chengan stood up and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty, according to my diagnosis, Consort Shun's bleeding is due to contact with something that could harm the fetus."
Fortunately, the problem was discovered in time, and the fetus is currently fine.
"Just take a few days of medication to prevent miscarriage and rest quietly."
Upon hearing this, Fucha Peiyun's eyes sharpened, and she pressed for an answer:
"Do you know what kind of substance is harmful to the fetus?"
Xu Cheng'an hesitated for a moment, then replied:
"In my humble opinion, it should be a drug similar to safflower, but further investigation is needed to determine the specifics."
Although Fucha Peiyun knew who had done this, she lacked conclusive evidence and didn't want to alert the perpetrator.
She turned to look at Consort Shun, her face showing concern, and said softly:
"Sister, please rest assured and focus on your pregnancy. I will send someone to thoroughly search Yanxi Palace."
"We must find the person who plotted against you."
After hearing this, Consort Shun nodded with heartfelt gratitude.
"What exactly happened? Who is so bold as to harm the dragon fetus?"
Before the person arrived, their voice came first.
Fucha Peiyun turned around upon hearing the sound and saw Nian Shilan walking in hurriedly.
Upon seeing this, everyone hurriedly bowed and greeted Nian Shilan.
Nian Shilan looked solemn and asked as soon as she spoke:
"What's going on with Consort Shun's pregnancy? Why did she suddenly start bleeding?"
Fucha Peiyun quickly recounted the events to Nian Shilan in a brief manner.
After hearing this, Nian Shilan frowned, her face showing anger, and said:
"It seems someone doesn't take us seriously, daring to be so presumptuous in this palace!"
This matter cannot be let off so easily.
Fucha Peiyun nodded slightly in agreement and said:
"That's natural, but the most urgent task is to find out exactly what is causing this harm to Consort Shun's pregnancy."
Ye'er, Xue'er, you two take some men and search Yanxi Palace thoroughly, inside and out.
Let's see if we can find the object that caused the miscarriage.
The two replied in unison, "Yes!"
Then he accepted the order and left.
Seeing this, Nian Shilan also instructed her personal maid, Songzhi:
"Songzhi, you go and help too. Be sure to search carefully and don't overlook any clues."
After receiving the order, Songzhi followed Ye'er and Xue'er to Yanxi Palace to search.
Time ticked by, and everyone waited anxiously for news.
Before long, Ye'er came running back in a hurry, with a few beads of sweat still on her forehead.
"Your Majesty," Ye'er said, panting heavily.
"A packet of crushed safflower powder was found under the crabapple tree outside Consort Shun's house."
After exchanging a glance, Fucha Peiyun and Nian Shilan's expressions both became extremely solemn.
Fucha Peiyun paused for a moment and asked:
Who usually takes care of these crabapple blossoms?
Upon hearing this question, the personal maidservant of Consort Shun turned pale instantly.
She hesitated for a moment, then finally answered in a trembling voice:
"Your Majesties, it is...it is Cui'er."
Before he finished speaking, Fucha Peiyun ordered that Cui'er be brought over.
A short while later, Cui'er was led into the room.
As soon as she entered, it was as if all her strength had been drained away; she collapsed to her knees with a thud.
His body was trembling uncontrollably, and his eyes were filled with terror.
Fucha Peiyun looked at Cui'er expressionlessly and asked coldly:
"Cui'er, did you put the red flower powder under the crabapple tree on this?"
Cui'er suddenly raised her head, shaking it frantically, and cried out:
"Your Majesty, I am innocent!"
This servant is only responsible for watering and pruning these crabapple trees every day, and has never seen any red flower powder!
This morning when I came to water the tree, there was absolutely no red flower powder under it!
Nian Shilan snorted coldly, interrupting Cui'er's sobbing.
Startled by the sudden question, Cui'er trembled, and her crying stopped abruptly.
She looked at Nian Shilan with tears streaming down her face, her body trembling slightly with fear.
But in order to save her own life, Cui'er forced herself to stay alert and tried to recall the scene.
"This servant...this servant will think about it..."
Cui'er stammered, various images flashing through her mind.
Trying to find someone who can testify for them.
Suddenly, Cui'er's eyes lit up, as if she had grasped a lifeline.
She quickly replied, "I remember now!"
This morning when I was watering the crabapple blossoms,
Little Li, who's in charge of sweeping, is cleaning nearby; he can definitely testify for this servant!
Upon hearing this, Fucha Peiyun immediately ordered someone to bring Xiao Li Zi over.
Not long after, Leonardo DiCaprio was brought before the crowd.
He looked somewhat fearful and uneasy, keeping his head down and avoiding eye contact with Nian Shilan and Fucha Peiyun.
"Your Majesties, when Cui'er watered the tree this morning, there was indeed no red flower powder under the tree."
Little Li answered cautiously, his voice trembling slightly.
Nian Shilan frowned deeply, looking at Xiao Li with suspicion, and said sternly:
"Don't make things up just to protect her!"
Little Li trembled with fear at Nian Shilan's imposing manner.
He knelt down with a thud, kowtowing repeatedly, and said in a terrified voice:
"This servant would never dare to deceive Your Majesty! Every word this servant has spoken is absolutely true."
If I utter even half a lie, may this servant be struck by lightning and die a horrible death!
Watching this scene unfold, Fucha Peiyun sensed that things weren't as simple as they seemed.
Cui'er doesn't seem like the kind of person who would harm Consort Shun's unborn child.
So she turned to Ye'er and instructed her:
"Go and investigate carefully again to see who else has come near this crabapple tree in the past few days."
Ye'er accepted the order and left. Just then, Songzhi hurriedly ran over to report to Nian Shilan:
"Your Majesty, this servant found a sachet in an abandoned corner of Yanxi Palace."
It was embroidered with unique patterns, and there were even remnants of safflower powder inside!
Upon hearing this, Nian Shilan's face darkened, and she quickly reached out to take the sachet and examined it carefully.
Upon seeing this, Fucha Peiyun quickly stepped forward and approached the sachet.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that the patterns on the sachet were delicate and exquisite.
Although it was just a fleeting glance, she felt that the pattern looked familiar.
Just as Fucha Peiyun was deep in thought, a sharp voice suddenly came from outside: "The Emperor has arrived!"
This shout was like a thunderclap from a clear sky; everyone hurriedly bowed and shouted in unison:
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
The big, chubby orange cat strode into the house with a powerful, dragon-like gait.
His face showed a hint of anxiety and concern. He walked straight to the bedside and asked:
"How is Consort Shun doing?"
Fucha Peiyun quickly stood up from the ground, bowed, and replied:
"Your Majesty, Consort Shun's unborn child is currently in good health."
Someone was secretly plotting to harm him with safflower powder, but fortunately it was discovered in time; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
